Thank you for reaching out. I hope we can stay connected through our journeys. I booked marked your comments. I appreciate the resource referrals.
So from my experience, I had robotic assisted laparoscopic total hysterectomy. The recovery was fast. I'm posted menopausal so I don't miss those part and really nothing seems or feels different.
I'm using several complimentary therapies and life style changes to help reduce symptoms of chemotherapy (I refer to as therapy or treatment). The worst symptom for me is hair loss, but I know that going into it. I bought beautiful wigs.(Your insurance may cover them your Dr may not tell you that) I'm looking at all this as a personal experiment. So far example I haven't shaved my head although it coming out pretty fast now because I want to know how long it takes and if some hair will remain. I'm just wrapping what I have and cover it with a wig.
I had know idea how much I like my wigs! I wear them every day all day. I have 4 and a halo. I'm turning into Dolly Parton 😊
Emotionally I swing between very blue, sometimes doom and gloom to hopeful, optimistic and proud of myself . That that can happen within a few days. I think I'm at a place where I can stop searching for answers and start trusting the process, for now. I reserve the right to change my mind in the future.
